Does each ADSC have a different time limit? I know I have to get under 13.15 for my chosen job but at pre-adsc we were told 12.35 was the cut off.
Im due to go to Lichfield soon, and I was wondering what their cut off point is?

You deffinately don't want to be eating that kind of thing before you go for a run! Or too often at all really.

Some good complex carbs - wholemeal pasta, brown rice and so on and a source of protein. Plenty of water too.

Aye, too right. My diet is the only thing letting me down, I really gotta get it sorted. Cheers for the tips. I'm drinking a ton of water, I just hate having to go the toilet every 5 minutes.

Protein is lacking for sure, I should up my intake of peanut butter and baked beans.

1.if you want protein get on the meat,milk or eggs
2.your run will be at approx 9:00am meaning you will have just done your team tasks and had your breakfast at 7 therefore whatever you have on the night wont matter and it will be most likley either chicken,roast ham and a selection of veg and a dessert if you want it

sorry to shatter your dream but you need no special nutrion whatsoever for a 1.5 mile run; no extra carbs, protein, fats etc.

anybody that tells you otherwise is wrong.

i could bore you with the details, but i can't be bothered - less to say that an individual eating a normal balanced diet will have arund 2-2500Kcals of energy stored and ready to use for vigorous exercise - their glycogen store - only when this runs out do we need to start looking at nutrion to replace or top up. Ref protein, there is no requirement to increase your protein unless your undertaking serious amounts of training - ie, full time, or very ardous training (3hrs) a day.

hydration is far more important - in most instances water is sufficient

...well, I was more referring to the fact that chowing down on 'greasy pizza' 2 hours before attempting a run might not be a good idea. If eating whatever you like is good prep for a run then fair enough, I'd still prefer to play it safe and I'd try to stick to a diet I suggested anyway. If you can be bothered (and I'm not being sarcy here, I am actually interested) can you drop a PM with links or resources where I can verify this. My own reading and research has led me to the beliefs I hold now. I'm always prepared to learn.

I can only speak for myself but I don't think I'd be at my best attempting a run after a big ol' pizza. Perhaps it's all psychological though.
